Fairfax County is supporting local small-scale production businesses through the “Made in Fairfax” program, with the goal of strengthening and promoting local “maker” businesses throughout the County. Makers – and others who support small-scale production efforts in the County – can join the Made in Fairfax Network and receive periodic communications about events and programs of interest to local makers.
